Strikes are not always about pay and working conditions. They are sometimes used as protest against authorities. How about strikes that are part of a general political protest?

How about a general strike called to protest against Britain handing powers to the EU? Should public sector workers be allowed to join a strike against that?

Such a strike is illegal under Thatcherite Union laws.

DA's error is to distinguish between public & private sector.
Just remove the legal protections offered to strikers and the problem is solved.
Political / economic pressure will help to prevent those that have the public's sympathy (where it's meaningful) from losing out.

So nobody's allowed to go on strike to protest against the UK's membership of the EU? Or against Tony B Liar's invasion of Iraq? Or just the public sector?

Men must trade with one another in order to live & prosper as men. I fail to see how the state levying taxes has anything to do with me, other than making the trades I'm involved in less fruitful.
